A Transformational Journey
The newly opened SilverKris Lounge, conceptualised and brought to life by the renowned DP Architects, represents a paradigm shift in luxury travel. Boasting a capacity to accommodate 135 passengers, a substantial increase from its predecessor, this lounge encapsulates the contemporary elegance synonymous with Singapore Airlines’ lounges globally, particularly the revamped complex at Changi Terminal 3.
Culinary Excellence: New Food & Beverage Options For Perth
A highlight of the SilverKris Lounge is its enhanced food and beverage experience. Guests are treated to a gourmet journey, featuring a live cooking station and an expanded buffet selection.
The lounge takes pride in its exclusive bar, serving signature cocktails like the Singapore Sling with a unique Western Australian twist, complemented by Piper-Heidsieck champagne. Additionally, a curated selection of local Beerfarm brews and a rotation of fine Australian wines elevate the dining experience.
The menu promises a tantalising array of dishes, including:
- House-made Shepherd’s Pie with Creamy Garlic Mash
- Chimichurri Chicken
- Charred Summer Squash and Capsicum
- Ginger Shallot Barramundi
- Prawn Shiitake Mushroom Fried Rice
- Oriental Stir Fry Vegetables
- Spiced Pumpkin Soup
The live cooking station offers bespoke dishes such as Singapore Chicken Rice, Singapore style Carrot Cake, Spicy Tomato and Capsicum Pasta, and a variety of Dim Sum, not forgetting the delectable Peking Duck Spring Rolls. The cocktail menu features classics like the SilverKris Sling and Espresso Martini, among others.
SilverKris Perth Seating and Amenities
Diversity in seating options is another hallmark of the SilverKris Lounge. Guests can choose from bar seating, dining areas, or the luxurious booths adorned with leather and the signature Singapore Airlines batik motif. A communal table offers a sociable space for working or group gatherings. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, including handbag hooks and ample power outlets. The lounge is set to upgrade to USB-C ports and offers high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity.
In a departure from other Perth Airport lounges, Singapore Airlines compensates for the lack of tarmac views by providing shower suites for guests wishing to refresh before their journey.
SilverKris Perth Lounge Location and Access
Conveniently situated opposite gate 52, the former site of the Qantas lounge, the SilverKris Lounge is easily accessible after passing the duty-free area. Its proximity to the Air New Zealand lounge is set to redefine the competitive landscape of airport lounges in the region.
Access to the lounge is exclusive to passengers flying business class with Singapore Airlines or its Star Alliance partners, KrisFlyer Elite Gold, PPS Club members, and Velocity Frequent Flyers with Gold, Platinum, or Beyond status, as well as Star Alliance Gold members on relevant itineraries.
